This is a box designed for Romax. So, you can slide your Romax through this access here and then you will be able to retrieve it on the other wall by pulling it through the hole you made. You can feed the Romax into this box also designed for Romax wire. Slide the wire inside the box. This particular type of box has tabs that will tighten against the back side of the dry wall so the box does not fall out.Once you have inserted it you tighten the screws that will spin those tabs into place and tighten them against the back of the wall.

Attach the Wiring to Add an Outlet to an Existing Wall
Here you want to attach the ground wire making a clockwise loop so when you tighten the screw it tightens the wire rather than loosing it. The neutral, the same case, will go onto the silver terminals. And the last wire, the hot wire, will attach to the brass color screw. Putting the receptacle back into the box, tightening it and then we will make our connections on the other side of the wall.Here we connect the neutral wire to the other neutral wires in the box, add your black wire to the black wire bundle and secure it with wire nuts. On the ground wire you can connect it to the existing ground wire.
